FOLLOW-TO-DM FOR INSTAGRAM

Your warmest lead just followed you. Welcome them in a DM.

The second someone follows you on Instagram, HyperDM sends a welcome DM — after a natural beat, not the instant auto-reply that reads like a bot. It says hi, drops the code or freebie you promised, and turns a brand-new follow into a real conversation while it's still warm. Official Instagram API. No flow to draw.

Free on Instagram — 50 conversations a month. No credit card.

THE OLD WAY

A new follower is the warmest lead you'll get. Most brands waste it.

Someone taps follow the second your reel lands — a raised hand, the warmest a lead ever gets. Then the old way takes over, and nothing happens. Maybe you DM a few by hand at 2am, until that stops scaling. Maybe you count on them to dig the link out of your bio. Mostly they scroll on, the moment cools, and the discount you promised in the caption never shows up. The window between the follow and the first message is where the lead is won or lost — and an empty inbox loses it every time.

HOW IT WORKS

How Follow-to-DM works.

Three steps, no flowchart. A follow comes in, HyperDM waits a natural beat, and the welcome lands while the follow is still warm. Reply to it and you get the same grounded agent that runs your comments and DMs — it answers from your live catalog, captures the lead, and closes.

01

Trigger

Someone follows your Instagram account. Meta delivers the follow event and HyperDM picks it up on the official API.

02

Natural beat

HyperDM holds for a moment instead of firing instantly, so the welcome reads like a person, not a tripwire.

03

Welcome DM

It says hi, drops the code or freebie you promised, and asks the one question that turns a follow into a conversation.

The welcome landing while the follow is still warm
THE PAYOFF

Welcome them warm. Not three days cold.

The welcome lands in the minutes that matter — while they still remember the reel that made them follow. No manual DMing, no ‘link in bio’ leak, no lead left to cool. It looks like this: they follow, a beat passes, and the DM arrives — “Thanks for the follow. Here's the 10% code from the reel: WELCOME10. Want me to find your size?” Grounded, in your voice, one tap from a sale. And because it's the same agent that runs your comments and keywords, the hello never dead-ends — it sells.

The sample exchange, made tangible
01

Catch intent at its peak

the welcome lands while the follow is minutes old, not when you next open your inbox.

02

Deliver the promised code or freebie automatically

no 2am DMing, no follower left waiting on what your caption promised.

03

Turn a follow into a lead you own

capture the email with logged opt-in, yours to keep and export.

04

No dead-end auto-reply

reply and the grounded agent answers from your live catalog and closes.

WITHIN POLICY

On the official API. Straight about the beta.

Follow-to-DM runs on Meta's official Instagram API and sends only once Meta delivers the follow event for your account. Eligibility is Meta's call, not ours — Follow-to-DM is a Meta beta, and access can be limited or staged while it rolls out. It's the same beta, under the same disclaimer, that the incumbent tools run on — we'd rather say so than sell you a switch we don't own. When Meta grants your account, HyperDM is already built, tested, and ready to fire. Nothing to rebuild.

01

Official Instagram API

no gray-area automation that risks your account.

02

Sends only when Meta delivers the follow event

no event, no DM, no exceptions.

03

Eligibility is Meta's decision and may be limited during the beta — the same terms every tool in this beta shares.

04

One welcome per follower, after a natural beat

never a repeat, never a blast.

The honest FAQ.

Yes. Follow-to-DM connects through Instagram Messaging on Meta's official API — no gray-area automation that risks your account. Every send respects Instagram's messaging window and policy, you can take over any thread anytime, and every message is logged so you've always got the receipts.
A new follow on your Instagram account. Meta delivers the follow event, HyperDM waits a natural beat, and the welcome goes out — once per follower, never on a loop. It sends only when Meta delivers that event, and because Follow-to-DM is a Meta beta, eligibility is Meta's decision and can be limited while it rolls out.
Yes. Drop in the code, guide, or link and HyperDM delivers it in the welcome DM the moment someone follows — then captures the email with logged opt-in, so the lead is yours to keep and export. The freebie you promised in the caption arrives every time, without you DMing at 2am.
Both send a welcome DM, and both run inside the same Meta Follow-to-DM beta. The difference is the second message. A flow builder's welcome is a scripted auto-reply that dead-ends; HyperDM's welcome is the front door to a grounded agent that answers from your live catalog, recovers carts, and closes. Same trigger, a very different conversation.
Because the on-switch is Meta's, not ours. Follow-to-DM is fully built and tested inside HyperDM, but Instagram only sends the follow events that trigger it to accounts Meta has admitted to its Follow-to-DM beta. We won't fake a feature we can't yet fire. Join the waitlist, and the day Meta grants your account, your welcome DM goes live — no rebuild, no wait.

Your next follower is a conversation waiting to start.

Connect Instagram, write your welcome once, and every new follow gets a hello that sells — grounded in your catalog, within policy, live in under 10 minutes. Your first 50 conversations a month are free, no credit card.
